The Dumb Lives Matter Parliament protest revenge backlash is why NZFirst is in double digits

When you listen to any of Winston’s speeches, the two biggest cheers he gets are when he bashes the Trans movement and when he plays up vaccine conspiracies.

When the Dumb Lives Matter Parliament protests erupted in 2022, I was one of the few on the Left who decried Mallard’s actions, decried the refusal for anyone from the Government to meet with the protestors and decried the refusal by the woke to actually de-escalate.

Let me be as clear as I can be – I supported Labour for their magnificent Covid response! I salute the courage and skill to have navigated us through this most horrific of tempests and believe the mandates were the best way forward.

I believe NZ having some of the lowest death and hospitalisation rates is a public health victory of extraordinary magnitude.

Yes as a post-marxist anarchist environmental socialist I detest the State up in my grills as much as the next free individual, but I agreed with the curtailing of my civil liberties for the public good.

B-U-T we on the Left have failed to challenge the neoliberal economic hegemony that continues to devour so many lonely lives and fills them with such hopelessness that they are bait for Facebook hate algorithms.

I have zero truck with these feral lunatic’s arguments, hell I was attempting to goad them into voting me in their Nuremberg hanging list a fortnight ago, but they had a right to protest and their rage has been manufactured by the Left’s lack of transformative change.

I have yet to see one interview with a protestor that after a terrible & painful personal mandate experience – that truly pulls at your heart strings – that then doesn’t veer off into some crazy demented conspiracy theory – there is no doubt this misery is being manipulated by far right propagandists with malicious intent.

If we don’t want so many angry, frightened and hurt working class people turning to the Nazi’s, maybe do something meaningful about their anger, hurt and fear first?

Instead of de-escalating this, the Speaker of the House and the Government provoked it.

This will stain us.

We lost something in 2022.

All we succeeded in doing was recruit for extremism and I’m still not sure how that dark treacle of hate will ooze out next, especially with the political polarisation and economic recession.

 

NZF in double digits is the rough beast of Bethlehem

I didn’t support these lunatics in their anti-vaxx nuttiness, but they were our citizens and they were impacted by Covid mandates and restrictions, and they should have been listened to.

We shouldn’t have created stand downs for welfare, we should have allowed them to come back to their jobs after the mandates weren’t needed, we shouldn’t have used violence to end the protest.

I said at the time this would permanently cost the left 5% of the vote.

That resentment is why NZF are in double digits.

The woke refuse to acknowledge their identity politics purges generated the backlash that empowered Trump and they refuse to accept we fucked up with the Dumb Lives Matter protests.

We reap what we sow.
